This edition, edited by Tomas Max Martin and Andrew M. Jefferson, is about scrutiny understood as a distinct way of approaching, learning about, and knowing prisons.
Given the traditional opacity of prisons, perennial questions persist about whose point of view should be privileged, what tools should be used, and who gets to judge what entry point is best.
This edition present a diverse input to a conversation about scrutiny that includes authors and cases from a range of countries.
